PROHIBITION.

Reasons for a Constitutional Amendment.
Prohibiting the Manufacture and Sale Of
All Alcoholic Beverages.
BY ]. ELLEN FOSTER, ATToRNEY-AT-Lhw.
The province of free civil government is
so to consolidate and arrange the general SEN
timent and principles Of the people, in sys-
TEN of rules and regulations, as will secure
individual protection and conserve the great
est good to the greatest number.
This system of rules and regulations is pre-
scribed in what is known as the Civil Law.
Civil Law is either Constitutional or Statutory.
The Constitution is the original statement
Of principles and agreement of mutual obga-
tons, with such amendments as the people
from time to time may make.
The Statutes are rules and regulations in
detail, setting forth the rights, duties, and
remedies Of the citizen under the Constitution
and the mode of procedure by which these
may be enforced.
The Constitution is adopted by the direct
vote of the people, and can be amended OF
repealed by them alone. Statutes are made
and repealed by the peoples representatives
the Legislature.
A universal sentiment prevails that intern
perance is gigantic evil This sentiments
embodied in rules and regulations, has given
diverse Legislation concerning the Liquor l'raf'
hc
The right Of the State to regulate or pro
hibitthe manufacture ana sale of Intoxicating
liquors has been many times affirmed by the
Supreme Court of the United State.
The history Of this Legislation demonstrate
that prohibition is the only legal remedy fol
the evils of intemperance; that it alone pro.
tects the individual and the State.
Prohibition may be embodied in constitu
tons and statutes. If in the constitution. i
is the direct voice of the people, and can be
repealed by them alone. lin statute, it i,
the creation of the Legislature, and subjec
to the tricks Of politicians, the devices O
demagogues, and the general fluctuations o
partisan interests.
All that can be said in favor of prohibitorj
statutes, applies with equal force to constitu
tional prohibition; and furthermore, constitu
tional law possesses gnity and permanence
and being the voice of a majority of TIKI
voters of the State, will secure to itself a bet
ter enforcement than bear statutes can receive
All parties and factions are confessedly boun(
| by constitutional law.

The San Jose Boom.

David Goodsell, who is visiting in
San Francisco, wrote to friend here
about the boom in San Jose. He
writes that the sales in San Jose ag-
gregate daily from S1,0O0,0O0 to
S2,OO0OO0. He saw three hundred
lots sold at auction for S107 900; the
owner had ten days before
paid for them $4,000, and
only 5000 cash. The boom
draws largely from San Francisco
for the reason that everyone in
Frisco has heard of the Los Angeles
boom and they don't want to get left
on this one. He reports that there
is nothing to warrant the excitement
unless it is the climate and the fruit,
as these are the only resources of the
place. The country surrounding will
not support q town of the capacity
now laid out In town lots. 1t is only
a question of time before the plow
will bury the corner stakes and the
"new addition" will exist only on pa.

EDITOR Historian:
The receipts of the fair of the
ladies' sewing society of the Nor
wegian Evangelical Lutheran church
in April last was SO dollars. The
receipts of the fair held August 23rd
was S72.30, making a total of S165.30
the ladies have, 60 far, contributed
toward purchasing lot and building
of church thereon. When pressing
times are considered and the limited
attendance of the last fair, the organ
ization has reason to be thankful,
next to God, to the ladies who SO
willingly aid with their handiwork
the cherished desire OF having, in the
near future, a house Of their own
wherein to worship the Giver OF all
good.
The receipts of the last fair were
greatly augmented by Mrs. p. w,
johnson, OF Alderbrook, who donated
to the church fine quilt OF her own
make, which brought the handsome
amount OF S24.25.
On behalf of the church wish to
express my heartfelt thanks to all
who have so kindly extended an aid
ing hand. Respectfully,
o. j. SETIKM,
Secretary.

wonderful machinery it is. Not only
the larger air-passages, but the thous-

When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be

work. And what they do, they can.
not do well.

may depend upon this for certain.
